drink prices

[linda521]

hey was hoping sum1 cud fill me in on the the price of beer/wine/cocktails etc...... any more expensive than usual?

[karena1]

Beer is usually around $4.00 or so for domestic, plus 15% tip. A "bucket: of beer which is 6 cans of Miller Lite for example, is around $24 if I remember right. I have the wine, but can't remember how much I pay for it by the glass.

[cb at sea]

Cocktails run from $5.50-$8.50 or so--depending on quality of liquor and complexity of the drink! A regular cocktail (gin and tonic, rum and coke, etc...) are very strong. The foo-foo drinks are expensive and are NOT strong--so a plain drink is a better value!

ok - thanks a mil for all the info. apologies in advance for the stupid question but whats a foo-foo drink? (im sorry - im irish :) )

also, would the like of.... vodka n coke, bacardi n coke etc be the same price as a cocktail?

and finally (probably another stupid question) can alcohol be brought onto the boat for drinking in ur room for example or does all alcohol have to be purchased on the ship.

first time cruiser so please excuse the inexperience

*Foo-Foo drinks are frozen drinks, i.e. Strawberry Daquiri, Pina-Colada, Miami Vice (combo of Strawberry Daquiri and Pina Colada) etc. They are sold with or without a souvenair glass (cheaper without) and one particular "flavor" is the special of the day (cheaper that day).

 

*You are not allowed to bring your own alcohol on Royal Caribbean ships. Some do and from a recent poll it appears as though approximately 90% do not get caught. Generally if you are caught they just confiscate it and you can get it back the last day, but they do mention on their website that they reserve the right to boot you off the ship for sneaking alcohol on boardl; barring extraneous circumstances (i.e. sneaking in giagantic quantities are being nasty to staff when caught) it is highly unlikely they would do more than confiscate the alcohol.
